  • My favorite podcast

    I’ve been a listener of Castle of Horror for a while, now.

    It was actually the show that turned me on to podcast, I was already a fan of Drew Edwards and his work in the comic book world, I decided I’d check out his opinions on some of my favorite movies.

    Next thing I knew, I was hooked, I even go out of my way to watch a film just so I can listen to their episode on it. I’ve also discovered other podcasts, literature and music, that I enjoy from listening to COH podcasts. Keep making them and... more

  • Addicted (in a good way)

    Horror movie discussion from the mainstream to the obscure, all of it treated with thoughtfulness and respect. They’ve turned me on to dozens of interesting movies and deepened my appreciation of the stuff I already know.

    The overall vibe is mellow and slightly loose but the hosts are sober and engaged and the shows are focused. They don’t mind going off on tangents but don’t abuse the privilege. I particularly like that no one here is “performing”; they speak like regular (if exceptionally ar... more

Bring on more Universal Horror and some 50’s schlock!!! Update. I still love the Podcast, content and crew however what I find annoying is how the ads break into the episodes when someone is in mid sentence while spea... more

  • Mostly Great

    I really like this podcast and the movies it covers. Listening from the start, I just wish the token female didn't talk over everyone. Hopefully gets better as the podcast matures. And it is like listening to an issue of Famous Monsters

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Castle Talk: Jordan Downey, director of new horror The Cycle
Q: Was that important to you? Why is that? Do you think it's that our eyes just accept a practical creature better than a CG creature?
Downey says practical effects work better for actors and look more convincing to him. Using a physical creature also lets its design and capabilities influence the way scenes are filmed.
Castle Talk: Jordan Downey, director of new horror The Cycle
Q: How were you involved in the creation of the concept of the film?
Downey says he co-wrote the script with longtime collaborator Kevin Stewart, who also served as cinematographer. The story began with its central supernatural idea, and they built characters and drama around it.
Castle Talk: Cassandra Khaw, author of FIND ME WHERE IT ENDS
Q: What do you hope readers take away from Find Me Where It Ends?
A sense that writing can be a form of exorcism and a lifeline, offering meaning and resilience in the face of darkness.
Castle Talk: Cassandra Khaw, author of FIND ME WHERE IT ENDS
Q: Cassandra, which came first, the allegory or the story?
It wasn't a clean split; the ideas pulled together and evolved into the novel, with the death/depression allegory guiding the narrative as it grew.
Fantastic Fest 2026 Check-in #1: Resident Evil, The Blood Countess, and more
Q: What was the crowd's reaction to the opening night Resident Evil film, and how did it fit with fans' expectations?
Tony described it as a solid blend that respects the game world through Easter eggs while offering enough new material to stand on its own, pleasing both longtime fans and newcomers.
